Alan Shatter reveals details of breathalyser incident

Independent TD Mattie McGrath asked a number of questions regarding Alan Shatter in the Dáil this morning

Minister for Justice Alan Shatter has said he failed to complete a breathalyser test some years ago because he is an asthmatic, but that he had not been drinking and committed no offence under the Road Traffic Acts.

Mr Shatter's statement comes after the issue was raised in the Dáil by Independent TD Mattie McGrath.

Mr McGrath asked if Mr Shatter had been stopped by gardaí in early 2011, and whether he had completed a requested breathalyser test.
